i found this on youtube yesterday while building my kart simulator. Im sure you all have seen this app. Its an external HUD that you can put on an external monitor. its called SIM_Monitor here> http://kurenai.main.jp/gtinfo/inf8/inf8.cgi very easy to use and very nice looking. but i have a couple simple Q's......



Does anyone have any advice on changing the shape or the "skin" of the "lcd" SIM_Monitor creates? I could not find any .dds files or anything that i can edit in any of its folders. i found the config settings but no media or visual files? What am i missing?
Im making a molded case similar to the "AIM" one for karting in the photos. I want to be able to plug it in a usb or maybe even a 4th monitor? I have an old case that im casting and then trying to source a lcd small enough to fit in the unit. The lcd in the picture below is square so thats why i need the skin to make it fit on a square-ish screen.



any ideas on how or what to use for a small lcd? i thought cell phone or Smartphone? lcd photo frame? or mini lcd from car? any ideas before i frakenstein a screen and ruin it?

Maybe even an ipod touch to make the touch screen work? i could grab my wifes......hmmmmnnnnn

dont FLAME ...i searched.

Hi!
I think this is still under development (http://ekblog.lfsbuddy.com/?p=9), but I think it's one of Leo Bodnar's usb cards (http://leobodnar.com/products/BU0710/ , http://leobodnar.com/)

Vroooom!
